Sun Shine Seldom Knew

Amongst the mist were trees 
rot, a lovely flower grew. 
Dark skies found its moss, 
were sun shine seldom knew. 
Beauty waded through the bog 
and found a wretched creature 
there. 
A cursed tormented soul , her 
sight could hardly bare 

Nothing more than April rain 
washed a way the mud.
I realized then what I 
concealed, was covered in her 
blood. 
A diamond in the rough I knew 
could drain a rose porcelain 
white. 
On this day I pray at noon, that 
her flower find some light.
